Both the US public and doctors overwhelmingly agree that people should be able to go online to download copies of their medical information, according to a new survey released today by the Markle Foundation.
The Markle Foundation, the Center for American Progress, and the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform at Brookings emphasize the importance of new federal rules on health information technology.
More than 50 health care organizations recommend priorities to HHS regarding the administration of Medicare and Medicaid subsidies to doctors and hospitals for Meaningful Use of health IT.
Presenting a pair of coordinated surveys, Markle and the AMA show that patients and physicians hold both similar and contrasting views about personal health records.
